Chapter 765: Chapter 566: After Enjoying Delicacies for Long, One Occasionally Misses the Charm of Simple Fare

"Time to eat dumplings~"

Accompanied by Huang Jun’s shout, he carefully served each person with a steaming plate of dumplings and fetched small saucers from the kitchen, pouring a bit of vinegar to use as dipping sauce for the dumplings.

"Here you go~"

Everyone eagerly sat neatly at the table.

"Brother Huang, how did you handle those dumplings that accidentally broke?"

Liu Shiwei looked at the undamaged dumplings on his plate with curiosity and humorously added, "I was mentally prepared to taste my own ’artworks’!"

"Brother Liu, you’re a guest, how can I let you eat broken dumplings?"

Huang Jun responded with a smile, "Those broken dumplings, I’ve put them in the fridge to use next time for sour soup dumplings."

"Aren’t sour soup dumplings always made with intact dumplings? Why do you have such a special preference for broken ones? Will the taste really be good? Besides, these dumplings are pork-stuffed, unlike the usual beef-stuffed ones for sour soup dumplings. Will the taste be okay?"

Liu Shiwei felt a bit silly asking all these questions and quickly added, "But speaking of which, Brother Huang’s skills can turn the mundane into something extraordinary. He surely can turn these broken dumplings into a culinary delight!"

Huang Jun’s lips curved into a gentle smile as he patiently explained, "Actually, those broken dumplings, after being cooked and soaked in the sour soup, absorb more soup, making them fuller and intensifying the flavor, giving them a unique taste."

"Really!"

Liu Shiwei became interested upon hearing this: "Brother Huang, why don’t you cook some sour soup dumplings tonight and let us taste this special delicacy?"

Liu Ruihan, who was tantalized, couldn’t help smacking his lips and eagerly chimed in, "Dry Daddy, I want to try them too!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded in agreement.

Wen Xueqian also looked expectantly at Huang Jun.

Seeing this.

Huang Jun readily agreed, "Sure! I’ll prepare some sour soup dumplings tonight for everyone to try. For now, let’s eat the dumplings first; otherwise, they’ll get cold and lose their flavor."

"Yay yay yay~ Dry Daddy is the best!"

Liu Ruihan beamed with a bright smile and playfully made a heart gesture at Huang Jun.

Liu Shiwei saw this and felt "numb" inside!

So...

He decided to look away, quickly picked up his chopsticks, and started enjoying the dumplings in front of him to comfort his somewhat sad heart.

With one bite, his eyes widened in delight.

The filling, enhanced by lotus root, was not only delicious but also brought a crisp texture, allowing the freshness of lotus root to be savored in every bite, growing more delectable with each chew.

Not only was the dumpling filling memorable, but the wrapper was equally outstanding.

During dough preparation, eggs and salt were added, and Huang Jun ensured the dough had enough time to rest.

This made the dumpling wrapper perfect in texture, complementing the full meatball-like filling; it was a match made in heaven...

Liu Shiwei couldn’t help but exclaim, "This dumpling filling is simply fantastic, absolutely delicious!"

Wen Xueqian nodded in agreement beside him, her face full of a satisfied smile: "Indeed, the taste of these dumplings is more delicious than any I’ve tried before."

Liu Ruihan bit into a dumpling, his eyes shaped like crescent moons, grinning from ear to ear, exclaiming cheerfully: "Wow, these dumplings are so delicious! Making them myself truly feels more flavorful!"

"Hanhan, you really know how to praise yourself~"

Weiwei disagreed slightly with her words, posing like a little adult with a serious demeanor, "Actually, these dumplings are delicious because my Daddy prepared the filling so wonderfully, the dough was kneaded soft, the wrapper was rolled thin, and cooked just right. Compared to yours, hehe, it actually doesn’t make much difference!"

Liu Ruihan was slightly taken aback by Weiwei’s words, then blinked her big eyes and gave a sweet, charming smile, giggling: "Haha, Weiwei, you’re absolutely right! But, as long as the dumplings are delicious, that’s the happiest moment for us, isn’t it?"

After speaking, she playfully stuck out her tongue, causing everyone to laugh.

Afterwards, everyone continued to indulge in the delicious dumplings.

Although Liu Ruihan was complaining about hunger with a growling stomach when not eating, once started, she soon "surrendered".

A small plate of dumplings easily "conquered" her, leaving her thoroughly satisfied.

After the meal, she rubbed her round belly and, holding Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands, jumped into the living room, ready to watch their favorite cartoons.

Then, Wen Xueqian stood up and began tidying up the dishes.

Unexpectedly...

Liu Shiwei also got up and lent a hand.

This scene made Wen Xueqian widen her eyes in surprise!

It’s known that at home, Liu Shiwei is a genuine "boss", always distant from household chores.

Although the house is managed by a servant, sparing him from personally tackling these tasks, today’s action was indeed rare.

Yet she understood, Liu Shiwei’s actions might be intended to leave a good impression on Huang Jun, ensuring future invitations for meals...
